Publisher Bethesda Softworks and developer MachineGames has just released Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Lucasfilm Games vice president and general manager Douglas Reilly is interested in seeing more Indiana Jones stories in the future.
"Right now, we’re focused on getting this one to the public and getting to the DLC and making this as successful as we can," said Reilly in an interview with Variety. "I think we’re always looking for great stories. And the good news is, there’s a lot of space in between the films where we could tell more and more Indiana Jones stories that I think would be super interesting."
Reilly was asked if this meant Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was canon and he said "canon is such a complicated concept. It is an authentic story set between the two movies of Raiders and The Last Crusade. We work closely with the studio and franchise management. So yes, it is meant to be an authentic Indiana Jones experience, in that sense."
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is available for the Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam and Microsoft Store, and Xbox Game Pass, and will launch for the PlayStation 5 in Spring 2025.

they just looking for more $$$
Someone in here must have a deep, personal hatred for Indiana Jones, downvoting everyone simply expressing their joy for the character lmao
Yes. The greatest treasure hunting character ever.
Sounds good to me. With Uncharted seemingly dormant and Tomb Raider currently MIA, someone's gotta give me my adventuring fix.
Machine Games have nailed the Great Circle. Amazing game, hope they do another.
Good luck. Phil Spencer already said licensed IP's like this dont make sense because of their subscription service. On top of that even EA wants to get away from this. Maybe tell Disney to stop price gouging everyone for using their IPs and they can come to a deal that works for both parties.
They really need to stop price gouging the licensing fees.
Do you know how much they charge? I'm always curious because from what I've heard Disney have an amazing amount of creative control, ask for an obscene about of money/revenue but let the studio do all the work. Which to me for any studio just isn't worth it unless you are trying to make a bit hit game. You might as well spend your time on your own stuff unless Disney commissioned you to make it obviously.
I heard that the Fifa license is like 1billion for 4 years. This most likely explains why EA flooded the game with MTs, Lootboxes and barely invested into the core game, just kept releasing the same game year on year. I'll assume the Star Wars license isn't that much cheaper either.
